Linda was a person who made the world a better place just by being here. She was beautiful inside and out. Whenever I was down or going through a trying time all I had to do was think of Linda and John. Just knowing her and thinking of her reminded me to smile. I will always be thankful that one of the best days of my life lead to a great friendship with her daughter, Christi, which then led to the honor and privilege of knowing Linda. I will greatly miss her, and will ALWAYS remember her and in doing so she will continue to make me smile. Blessed be to you Linda.
Mrs. Barnard was such a wonderful person. I had the priviledge of her teaching Dillon Powell, my son who has just graduate from high school, in kindergarten at LES. She was so kind and patient with him and set the tone for his first years in school. She was a wonderful lady and I am sad to hear she has passed. Thoughts to all her family and friends from the Powell’s.
